  1. I understand why they have to be the quality they are, but I'd still hope it would be possible to put out some higher quality versions of the songs. I'd love to be able to get 128kps versions of the songs Yo La Tengo performed. I assume there might be some rights issues with that though, but maybe some of the artists would want to put them out on their own sites.


  2. @Brian Did anyone say they demanded some kind of compensation?

    I like the songs so I'm not complaining, but I'm also fine with people posting on the forums to say they don't like them. (as long as they're not just saying things to be a dick, which I don't think anybody was) It's more interesting to read than people bringing out that "you can't complain because it's free" argument that Jeff Ulrich himself has said he disagrees with.

    *edit* Robin posted something similar while I was writing this, but I'll leave this here anyway.


  3. I've not listened to the episode yet but regarding the Amazon link, a lot of sites have these already. The admin of a forum I post on has asked people to buy from amazon using the affiliate link to help maintain that site.

    It is probably worth pushing it harder to explain to people how they can help earwolf by going to amazon through it, but it's worth bearing in mind that there's going to be a lot of other sites competing with over this. A lot of these are just going to be things like independent forums that aren't actual businesses. So personally, I prefer to donate occasionally and buy things from the store, but the amazon links I won't use because I'm using the affiliate links for other sites to help them out.


  4. Interesting episode, Jeff I do enjoy these more personal episodes of The Wolf Den, so you shouldn't be afraid to do them.

    Just to throw out an idea for a potential pledge drive, maybe if you did some kind of bonus best of episodes for all your shows then that might be an appropriate time to pledge for money. Maybe even a podcast for the best of all of earwolf's shows - If you did that maybe someone who only listens to Comedy Bang Bang for example might be persuaded to listen to Who Charted or your show if they heard a clip they liked.

    Also pledge drives and telethons are often a good area for (I'm particularly thinking of a certain Mr Show sketch) So maybe if you worked with the hosts to come up with a funny conceit for the pledge drive podcast, you could find a way to ask for money in a way that's entertaining and doesn't feel like an advert.

    Whatever you do, I've donated and before and I'll be happy to drop a few more dollars your way if you did do a pledge drive.
